READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE,

OR SERVICE YOUR PRODUCT. KNOW THE PRODUCT’S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND

POTENTIAL HAZARDS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY

INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Description

This is a submersible efuent pump for use in basins or lift stations, and is suitable for pumping

sewage, efuent, wastewater, and other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids with up to 1/2"

spherical solids.

Safety Guidelines

1. Make certain pump is disconnected from power source before attempting to service or

remove any component.

2. Do not use to pump ammable or explosive uids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.

DO NOT use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classied by NEC, ANSI/

NFPAT. Pump should be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials.

3. Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or

in water.

4. Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the pump is operating or

connected to power source.

5. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding type attachment plug.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded

grounding-type receptacle.

6EC - 10EC Series

5

6. The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the

branch circuit supplying fountain equipment, pools, etc.

7. In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an

inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other

reason, a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used.

8. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause

piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.

9. This pump’s motor housing is lled with a dielectric oil for motor heat transfer and lifetime

lubrication of the bearings. This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life. However, suffocation can

occur if oil is left on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor housing it can be removed

from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.

10. The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may

restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result

of excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a

defective motor or pump.

Electrical Connections

1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than

that shown.

2. If pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong is to ground the pump to

prevent possible electrical shock hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third prong from the plug. A

separate branch circuit is recommended.

Do not use an extension cord. Do not cut plug from the cord. If the plug is cut or the cord is

shortened, then this action will void the warranty.

3. Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in

accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).

4. To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be wired with 14 AWG or

larger wire. For runs to 250', 14 AWG wire is sufcient. For longer runs, consult a qualied

electrician or the factory.

5. Pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no other outlets or equipment in

the circuit line. Fuses and circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.

6. The exible PVC jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modied in any

way, with the exception of shortening the cord to t into a control panel. Any splice between

the pump and the control panel must be made within a junction box and mounted outside of

the basin and comply with the National Electrical Code.

7. The 6EC-CIA-RF AND 10EC-CIA-RF pumps have automatic switches with piggyback

plugs on the switch cords. Pump must be plugged into piggyback switch cord for

automatic operation.

CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER ASSEMBLY AND

DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR LITTLE GIANT PUMP.

6EC - 10EC Series

Operation

1. Pump must be installed in a suitable gas tight basin which is at least 18" in diameter and 24"

deep, and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.

2. Pump features a 1-1/2" female NPT discharge.

3. Pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place pump directly on clay, earth or

gravel surfaces.

4. A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent back ow of liquid into the basin.

The check valve should be a free ow valve that will easily pass solids.

CAUTION: For best performance of check valves, when handling solids install in a horizontal

position or at an angle of no more than 45°. Do not install check valve in a vertical position, as

solids may settle in valve and prevent opening on start-up.

5. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps. Restricting the intake may cause

damage to the seal and may starve the pump. If you require reduced ow rates, then place

a valve on the discharge side of the pump or if exible vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be

used on the tubing to restrict the ow.

6. Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled by pumping uid. You

may damage the seal and the motor may fail if the pump is allowed to run dry.

7. If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning instructions outlined

in the next section. Do not let the unit freeze in the wintertime. This may cause cracking or

distortion that may destroy the unit.

Testing Pump Operation

CIA Series Efuent Pumps

1. These pumps are equipped with a oat operated mechanical switch.

2. When these pumps are installed in a basin with a sealed cover, switch operation cannot be

observed. The sump cover usually will have an additional opening that is plugged with a

rubber plug. This plug can be removed and switch operation can be observed.

3. Plug power cord into a grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with pump voltage as

indicated on pump nameplate.

4. Run water into pump until pump starts.

5. Be sure gate valve in discharge line is open.

6. Allow pump to operate through several on off cycles.

CIM Series Efuent Pumps

1. The pump cord for these pumps can be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle

with voltage consistent with pump nameplate for continuous pump operation.

CAUTION: This type of operation should be used only for emergency use or when a large volume

of water is to be pumped. Pump must not be allowed to run dry. If pump is run dry, it may damage

pump and void the warranty.

Service Instructions

Instructions

MAKE CERTAIN THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!

1. If pump does not operate properly, consult TROUBLESHOOTING section. If trouble still

cannot be located, consult your pump dealer or take pump to a Little Giant authorized

service center.

2. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do not, in any case, open the

sealed portion of the unit or remove housing screws.

3. Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the LIFE and EFFICIENCY of the pump.

Refer to the assembly and disassembly of the pumping head.

4. Remove screws that hold base to volute and clean impeller and volute passage. Do not use

strong solvents on impeller.

5. Be sure impeller turns freely after cleaning.

6. WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE IMPELLER. REMOVAL OF IMPELLER REQUIRES SPECIAL

TOOLS AND IS TO BE DONE ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

DO NOT REMOVE MOTOR HOUSING COVER. WARRANTY IS VOID IF MOTOR HOUSING

COVER, IMPELLER OR SEALS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. ANY REPAIR ON MOTOR MUST BE

DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED LITTLE GIANT SERVICE CENTER.

7. Be certain power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.
